Somehow ctrl+f failed to find this one, but Path of Exile is probably my drug of choice there. While I raked in 1k hrs with Dota2, I'm not sure I"d recommend it unless you really want to sell your soul to MOBA life. And it's not quite to 1k yet, but honorable mention must go to Satisfactory as it's well on its way to being game #3 in the 1k+ list with me.

Interestingly, when I was doing some research on the European cultural shift from Humanism to the Enlightenment, I recall some sources (forgive me, at work and not able to refer to them) suggesting that living in and around Roman ruins greatly lent itself to the Christian narrative that the people were living in a "last age of decay" just prior to the apocalypse. So technically pre-apocalypse, but more or less on the nose

If I may recommend it, give Symfonium a try for an app front end. It's actually stellar. I tried Finamp with the same and wasn't as jazzed

That's cool as hell to hear. The cynic in me is a bit ignorant of Swiss law and corporate behavior therein but is sure that at some point some douchebag will figure out a way to weasel out of it or push it in the direction of enshittification all over again, but it's cool to see them make this move none the less.

I use it, mostly because I wanted to build an analogue to Google Drive/Photos, though it took some work to get it to a point where it felt good. Since the default Photos app feels pretty garbage to me, I installed the Memories app (same thing but better, very like Google photos) as well as Preview Generator & Recognize.

These seem to do the trick. The automated tagging isn't without its issues (pretty janky, frankly), but I'm pretty content with it to the point where I'm not looking to change in a hurry. Haven't tried Immich, though it looks pretty enough like I'd probably just go with it since it does the one task it's supposed to do, but again, I'm comfy and don't feel the need to find a new home for my photos yet.

Absolutely beautiful

Highly recommend at least trying to poison your data before deactivating/deleting; they have some legalese that gives them a workaround to keep things to an extent

Yeah, the deactivation link takes you to "delete" it, but they do have some legalese that suggests they could keep it to "enforce their agreements" among other things

There's that and Heroic is doing some excellent work implementing proton and steams stuff into GOG games!

Damn, dude, those are considered rare? That's a hell of a bummer

Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it's become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between "chilled out," familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.

My main suggestion is to set your recipe limits - if you just keep making everything beyond reasonable levels, you run out of materials nonsensically, i.e. "No, I REALLY don't need 200 brick, thanks, I'd rather have some pottery, just a LITTLE BIT, PLEASE"
